Kindergarten Sinks Wood!

We have been busy learning amazing things about our wood samples!  We discovered that wood floats in an earlier investigation.  Now we are going to try to sink wood!

We were working with two types of wood: pine wood and plywood.  After some trial and error, we attached paperclips to the wood with a rubber band to see what would happen.  

Sometimes the paperclips fall off!

The pine wood needed more paperclips than the plywood
 to make the wood sink.

"I did it!"

Look!  The paperclip is sticking to the wood with no rubber band!

It still isn't sinking!

We came to the conclusion that the pine wood needed more paper clips because it was a lighter wood than the plywood!

The wood can stand right up in the water!
